I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 218 Military Song
Shi Laosi squeezed out a few words through his teeth and said, "Speak quickly."

At this time, Zhu Houxuan also noticed this dull and honest soldier and was about to speak up to smooth things over.

As a result, Shi Wanshan suddenly opened his mouth. He suddenly realized that he had to say something now, but he had not thought about what to say at all.

In this situation, Shi Wanshan directly shouted out the words in his heart: "Eat the Marshal's food, wear the Marshal's clothes, receive the Marshal's salary, and serve the Marshal."

The people accompanying him never expected that this soldier could say such straightforward and reasonable words.

Zhu Houzhao was also stunned after hearing this, and then immediately burst into laughter.

"Well said! The military's morale can be boosted!" Zhu Houzhao was very happy.

Zhu Houxuan on the side was stunned. He almost vomited blood. This plot took a sudden turn.
This is how they all play, right?

First they were training troops at a small station, and now they are paying their salaries personally and shouting slogans like this. It really feels like déjà vu.

This is too much like Yuan Shikai training the Beiyang Army
Is this going to follow Yuan Shikai's path and leave Yuan Shikai with no way out? Zhu Houxuan thought helplessly in his heart.

Jiang Bin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became proud. The soldier's words did make some sense. The most important thing was to make the emperor so happy, which was better than anything else.

Zhu Houzhao reached out and gently patted Shi Wanshan on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, I will remember you."

After saying that, he continued to distribute military pay to the next person, and the second person was Shi Laosi.

Shi Laosi was a very good person. When he saw this situation, he immediately shouted: "I eat the Marshal's food, wear the Marshal's clothes, receive the Marshal's salary, and serve the Marshal."

As a result, once this precedent was set, everyone who received their military pay would shout the same thing.

This made Zhu Houzhao even happier.
Zhu Houzhao was very quick. Within an hour, he had distributed the salaries of more than 3,000 new soldiers in the camp.
The morale of the new soldiers in the camp was greatly boosted, and they trained even harder.
After returning to the tent, Zhu Houzhao was still smiling and in high spirits.

Zhang Yong took one look and immediately congratulated him, "I congratulate Your Majesty on your victory today!"

Zhu Houzhao was delighted when he heard this, and turned to Zhu Houxun and said, "Brother, you have come up with a good idea! You have won the hearts of the new army just like this, which really surprised me!"

"Thank you for your praise, brother. It's what you deserve for your hard work." Zhu Houxuan did not dare to take credit for it at all.

"It's still interesting here. How can such things happen if I stay in the capital every day? I think I should come here more often to distribute salaries to the soldiers in the future." Zhu Houzhao said with lingering feelings.

"Your Majesty, father, is wise!" Jiang Bin said hurriedly.

Jiang Bin’s words made Zhu Houzhao even happier. The new army had been the source of Zhu Houzhao’s happiness during this period.

"Father, the new army has been in training for a month. Although there is no shortage of money and food, the weapons and equipment have not arrived. We can only train the formations and cannot proceed to the next step of training." Jiang Bin said while Zhu Houzhao was happy.

"That's right!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Houxun, "Brother, what do you say about the weapons and equipment? When will they be in place? We can't really let the new army train with wooden sticks." "Don't worry, brother. I came here with a lot of new trial weapons and equipment. I will take you to try out the new weapons and equipment in a while to determine the number of these weapons and equipment in the new army."

"Is this true? Well, let's go and take a look after dinner." Zhu Houzhao was even happier. He liked new and interesting things.

Then he seemed to think of something, "Brother, do you still owe me something?"

"What?" Zhu Houxuan tried hard to recall, but he didn't expect that he still owed Zhu Houzhao something.

"You must have done it on purpose! Your Highness, the Prince of Jing, is a forgetful person!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly snorted coldly, "At the beginning, you said that you would write a few more songs for the soldiers in the army. These few months have passed, and there is no news at all."

Zhu Houxuan was embarrassed when he heard this. He remembered that this was true. He had forgotten about it a long time ago. He didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to still remember it.
"Your Highness Prince of Jing, since you think the new army is so good, why don't you give it a song?" Zhu Houzhao knew what was going on when he saw Zhu Houxuan's expression, so he continued to tease him.

Zhu Houxuan had no idea what to do. There were many suitable songs, but the lyrics all needed to be changed. He couldn't make up his mind. Then Zhu Houzhao mentioned the new army, which gave him inspiration:

You're still talking to me about the new army? You've almost turned the new army into the Beiyang Army. If that's the case, then let's just give up and make the new army more like the Beiyang Army.
Zhu Houxuan made a quick decision in his mind, "Brother, I have already written the song."

"Have you finished writing it? Then sing it for us quickly!" Zhu Houzhao said hurriedly.

"Uh..." Zhu Houxuan didn't want to sing it himself, and quickly said: "Since it is a song written for the new army soldiers, let the new army soldiers sing it. Brother, wait a moment, this song is very simple, I will teach it to the new army soldiers now."

"Okay, okay! We'll wait for you." Zhu Houzhao said repeatedly. He liked new things.

Zhu Houxuan strode out of the tent, randomly found a small team, and prepared to teach them to sing a new military song.

As a result, he was surprised to find that this team was the same team as Shi Laosi and Shi Wanshan. This was really fate.

Zhu Houxun had a deep impression of Shi Wanshan.

Zhu Houxuan was too lazy to change players, so they just kept this team.

The tune of the new song he was going to teach was very simple, and the lyrics should be familiar to the soldiers, so it would be the same no matter who taught it.

Shi Wanshan just felt that today was an extremely interesting day. First, his performance during the salary distribution had earned him praise from his superiors, and then a young noble taught them to sing a song.

He didn't think he could sing any song, he always knew he was tone-deaf, but the new song turned out to be surprisingly simple, and the lyrics were about his favorite story from the Three Kingdoms, which made him fall in love with the song instantly.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Zhu Houxuan left, he returned to the tent with a group of soldiers and musicians.

Under the gazes of the crowd, the musicians began to play. A simple melody sounded, and Shi Wanshan's team also began to sing:
"Among the Three Kingdoms warriors, Zhao Zilong was the most courageous. He showed his heroism at Changban Slope, defeated thousands of generals and killed millions of soldiers. He brought peace with Adou in his arms."

"There was also Zhang Yide, who was waiting in front of Dangyang Bridge. There were seven consecutive crackling sounds, and two or three arches of the bridge collapsed, and the river water flowed back, scaring away Cao's millions of soldiers."

This is the "Military Song of the Fourth Beiyang Division".
